    Abstract:
    Gastric cancer (GC) is one of malignant tumors with high mortality and morbidity in the world. MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) acts as a tumor suppressor in a variety of cancers and has been found to be dominant in gastric adenocarcinoma. However, the specific biological function of miR-122-5p in GC is not completely clear. In this study, we found that miR-122-5p was low-expressed in GC tissues and cell lines by using qRT-PCR. Overexpression of miR-122-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells by using CCK-8 and transwell assays. On the contrary, downregulation of miR-122-5p promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. In addition, we found that the expression of LYN, an Src family tyrosine kinase, was inversely correlated with miR-122-5p expression in GC tissues by using western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry, and qRT-PCR assays. Meanwhile, luciferase assay results indicated that LYN is a direct target of miR-122-5p in GC cells. Moreover, silencing LYN expression by its siRNA inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. Importantly, overexpression of LYN restored miR-122-5p-mediated inhibition of the proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. Taken together, our results indicated miR-122-5p inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion by targeting LYN in GC.
